Talking New WS6 Owner

Finally!

I have been visiting these forums for about 3 months now, thanks to Beast(Marc), and I finally get a reason to register as a member. I love LS1 Tech

I have been wanting a WS6 Trans Am since the body style in '98 came out, and out of PURE luck I managed to get a white 2002 WS6 M6 with 25,000 miles. I love Theft Recovery Auctions!!!

My dad had, sold it 2 weeks ago, a Magnetic Red C5 Corvette Covertible that was mine at one point (long story), so I am famaliar with the LS1 and stuff like that. My dad has owned his own used car lot for 18 years and my mom, grandpa, and uncle all work for him. So, I know my way around cars I guess.

I just wanted to introduce myself and say that I am from Memphis, TN if there is any others around.

If I ever bought a WS6, it would have to be white. Many congrats, that's quite a car.

Congrats! I almost bought a white WS6. I Would have put black racing stripes and black wheels on it and topped it all off with a nice tint. That combo looks awesome IMO. Instead I lucked up and found my favorite color, navy blue metallic. Once again, congrats on the new ride!

Black WS6's are better looking IMO, but I guess I'm partial.
Nice seeing another WS6 on the board.

The white WS6's are sweet! I had a white 96 TA and it was nice looking when freshly washed and waxed. But now I love my red SS. Wouldn't trade it for any other color! Welcome!
